Embodiment Construction

[0024] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a wireless communication system 100 for controlling a remote automated mining asset 102 is provided. The mining asset includes an excavator 102 for excavating material and trucks for transporting the excavated material.

[0025] System 100 includes a long-term (eg, hours to weeks) high-altitude platform 104 that includes at least one high-altitude communication device 106 . High-altitude communication devices typically include balloons or pseudolites. High altitude platform 104 is located in the exosphere or stratosphere, at altitudes exceeding several kilometers, and is adapted to transmit control messages for controlling mining asset 102 .

[0026] System 100 also includes a deployable short-term (eg, minutes to hours) low-altitude platform 108 that includes at least one low-altitude unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) 110 . UAV 110 is typically an unmanned aerial vehicle operating at altitudes between several hundred m...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system for controlling one or more remote automated mining assets. The system includes a high-altitude platform including at least one high altitude communication apparatus, and for communicating control messages for the mining assets. A low-altitude platform includes at least one low altitude communication apparatus, and is suitable for communicating control messages for the mining assets. Preferably, the high-altitude platform is a long-term communications platform whereas the low-altitude platform is a short-term communications platform that can be more rapidly deployed and flexibly restructured.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a wireless communication system for controlling remote automated mining assets. Background technique [0002] The reference to any prior art in this specification is not and should not be regarded as an acknowledgment or any form of suggestion that the prior art forms part of the common general knowledge. [0003] Automated mining assets such as excavators and trucks are used to conduct mining operations in remote locations with no or limited fixed communication infrastructure. [0004] Land mobile wireless communication systems can be used to communicate control messages from base stations to control remote mining assets. Move the repositionable towable wireless communication station as needed to maintain communication between the base station and the asset. However, the dynamic nature of mine topology and associated asset locations often undesirably leads to communication blackspots. In addition, the relocation of ...
